VPA Project GoalsVPA Project Goals Develop software application allowing VPA to:

– 1. Maintain data on client companies, applicants & job openings

– 2. Allow applicants Web access to apply for available positions

Allow practical application of project building:– 1. Rapid Application Development of a prototype– 2. Analysis & Design utilizing Unified Modeling

Language and GUIDS– 3. Application Construction and Deployment– 4. Web Construction and Deployment

Phase OnePhase One

Rapid Application Development (RAD)

The rapid development of a functioning prototype.

Based on initial requirements from the client.

Development of basic Forms or Graphic User Interface design.

Benefits of RADBenefits of RAD

Presented to Virtual Placement Agency

This preliminary presentation of the application displays the functionality of application for approval by the client.

This allows for modification of application.

Changes can be made to the application before costly development has taken place.

Phase TwoPhase Two

Goal-centered design

Goal-centered design defines the objects and the scenarios outlining how the objects work together to meet the requirements previously specified in the requirements prerequisite.

User Interface design

User-interface design examines how the user will view and communicate with the application. The project team uses the requirements and information collected during the Goal-centered design to design a user interface that meets the goals of the business and the user.

Implementation-centered design

Implementation-centered design defines the system architecture and internal framework of the application and the components and classes that are the building blocks of the application. The classes are defined from the objects identified in the Goal-centered design. The properties and methods for these classes are detailed. Key procedures, business logic, and algorithms are also defined in this step. This design is documented in a design document.

Data design Data design involves reviewing the data associated with each class and defining how that data will be stored. Depending on the requirements of the application, data can be stored in a file, database, internal memory, or the Registry.

Strategies for Construction

Strategies for construction define the approach that will be taken during the implementation (coding). These strategies include the following:       Buy versus build        Conventions and standards        Configuration management/source code control        Inspection and testing procedures        Implementation planning and scheduling

Using MS Project, Virtual Brilliance kept track of the important milestones.
